Soba noodle salads are one of my favorite go-tos for a quick meal. They are so fast to make...The best part of this soba noodle salad is not that it’s a quickie, but it’s the miso roasted nectarines that will change your life.

I was 7 and I still remember the way it tasted and the way it smelled. Corn kernels bursting with every bite...I would order the same thing every time we went. Those many dinner dates with my family inspired me to develop this recipe and celebrate summer’s corn.

Rainbow carrots are stunningly beautiful and create an impressive and colorful dish. The farmers market is heaving with carrots and their beautiful tops...Full of Vitamin A and beta-carotene makes it food for our eyes!

I am a big believer in decreasing waste and using up the whole ingredient when possible...Lemongrass is a perfect example...this recipe is a great way to use the whole stalk and this lemongrass maple iced tea is light and reinvigorating!

As much as I love the dish, I feel a bit guilty eating it sometimes, you know, the big portion of fried on fried. So I developed this healthier version that’s packed with protein...

Mejadra is a Middle Eastern staple and one of my favorite dishes. You’ll find I am a big fan of lentils. Lentils are a wonderful source of fiber and iron, and are very versatile. The spices in this dish, like coriander and allspice, give off the most beautiful scent...

This carrot soup is so dreamy. It's smooth and refreshing, even if you prefer to have it warm. The subtle hints of coriander and fennel seeds take this simple soup to another level. And then when you think it can’t get better, it does...
